Default Custom License Plate? For fun

Ok so I decided to get a custom License plate for my Vette. My other plate was old and worn out, and said to myself.. Why the hell not.. Of course here in PA.. All the obvious choices are already taken for a C5- 99. I must of spent a few hours using the online tool to try and find something that was still available.. Ended up with 3X- VETTE. Just wondering if anybody else has a custom License plate?? Or If you would ever get one. What would it say?? Keep in mind can only be 7 Characters long with one - .

The list in the thread I posted has been updated many times since then...most recent post to the thread was in March of this year.

But I was just playin' with ya! Of course, many of us have custom or "vanity" plates! Part of the fun...

Carry on...

I did mine to make sure the cops know I obey all speed limits.

I tried to get one inspired by one of my fav movies Jeepers Creepers that says "BEATNGU" but the license plate committee said no lol... they actually do have a license plate committee as stupid as that sounds and I tried to fight them on it because someone previously had it but they decided not to renew and I guess the committee said no more after that... I actually tracked the previous owner of the plate down, it was on an old antique truck... oh well

Plenty of Corvette owners have personalized plates. I've had one on each of my 10 Vettes over the years.

Here in Ohio we get to pay an extra $50 per year for vanity plates, so I'm not as jazzed to get them.
Having said that, I'm thinking mine could be
VETTE ED (my name along with my favorite car),
CRDELIA (the name I gave my Vette- Cordelia),
or DBGM 777 (since mine is Dark Bowling Green Metallic and one of only 777).
I like the premise of a custom/vanity plate, but again, it's an extra $50 every year!
